Meadows was arrested in July 2016 and charged with aggravated murder for allegedly shooting her father, Jonathan Meadows, in the head while he slept. Bresha’s mother, Brandi Meadows, and other family members said that Jonathan Meadows had been physically and emotionally abusing the family for decades. Bresha's attorneys had previously argued that the shooting was an act of self-defense.

“In the 17 years of our marriage he has cut me, broke my ribs, fingers, the blood vessels in my hand, my mouth, blackened my eyes. I believe my nose was broken,” Brandi Meadows said in a 2011 police report. “If he finds us, I am 100 percent sure he will kill me and the children.”

On Monday, supporters gathered outside of the Trumbull County Juvenile Court, holding signs that said "Free Bresha." The 15-year-old will remain in a juvenile detention facility until July 29, when she will be transferred to a state-run mental health facility in Shaker Heights, Ohio to serve another six months of her sentence.
